WARNING
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot
water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance connected to the
hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do
not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.
TO PREVENT MINOR INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE
During or after wash cycle, contents may be hot to the
touch. Use care before handling.
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used
by or near children. Do not allow children to play around
the dishwasher when closing the door, closing the upper
rack, or while vertically adjusting the upper rack due to
the possibility of small fingers being pinched.
Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as
electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and paint
brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to the dishwasher
and discoloration or staining of the dishwasher may
result.
WARNING

SELECT OPTIONS
The light by the selected pad will be lit to indicate which Option has been selected.
Light Press to turn the tub light on or off.
Delay Delays the start of a wash cycle up to 8 to 12 hours depending on model. Press Delay, to select the
number of hours, then press Start one time and close door to begin countdown. The cycle will start
once allotted time has expired.
Sanitize This option raises the water temperature in the final rinse to sanitize your dishware but may increase
cycle time by 60 minutes. The cycle length will vary depending on the temperature of your inlet water.
NOTE: This option is monitored for sanitization requirements. If the cycle is interrupted during or
after the main wash portion or if the incoming water temperature is so low that adequate water
heating cannot be achieved, the sanitizing conditions may not be met. In these cases, the Sanitized
light will not illuminate at the end of the cycle. Utilizing this option will modify the cycle to meet the
requirements of Section 6, NSF 184 for soil removal and sanitization efficacy.
NOTE: NSF certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
Zones Selecting either the Top or Bottom Zones will target dishwashing of just one rack. This will shorten the
cycle time and conserve energy. This option should be used when dishes are placed in only one rack.
Temp This option increases the temperature to help clean heavily soiled dishes and will increase the cycle
time by 20 to 50 minutes. Option may be turned On or Off during the wash cycle. This option will also
improve dry performance on the Medium cycle.
Dry Off Shuts off the drying option. Dishes air dry naturally and energy is saved. Open the dishwasher door to
speed drying.
Dry Normal Turns on the option for faster drying. This option may add up to 64 minutes to the cycle time. On
models with the hidden heater feature, this option boosts the temperature of the dishwasher during
the final rinse portion of the cycle then utilizes a fan to circulate air to dry the dishes. This very efficient
fan may run for an additional 90 minutes after the cycle is complete to maximize drying performance.
Fan operation will end if the door is opened during this 90 minute period.
Dry Extra This option can be selected by pressing the Dry pad twice to illuminate the Extra light. It will add
additional time to your drying option, further enhancing the dishwasher’s performance for difficult to
dry items.

USING THE DISHWASHER
DETERGENT DISPENSER
The detergent dispenser is located in the center of the
dishwasher door. It has two compartments. The main wash
compartment is found inside the detergent dispenser. To open,
press the button on the side of the dispenser. The pre-wash
compartment is on the lid of the detergent dispenser. Use the
pre-wash compartment only when your water is extremely
hard or when you have a heavy soiled load. The pre-wash
compartment is not used when tablet or packet detergents are
used.
NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may
block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser.
You may use tablet, packet, powder, liquid or gel automatic
dishwasher detergent. Make sure you use only detergents
specifically labeled for use in automatic dishwashers. Never use
liquid hand dish detergent in an automatic dishwasher. Sudsing
and poor wash performance will result with the use of improper
detergents.
Detergents should be stored in a dry location and in their
original container to prevent loss of effectiveness. Place
detergent in the cup just prior to starting the dishwasher and
then close the cover. The cover will open during the wash
cycle.
FILLING THE DETERGENT
DISPENSER
We recommend using detergent in tablet or packet form.
Independent testing has shown this form of detergent is very
effective in the dishwasher. Finish
®
Quantum
®
Powerball
®
is an example of this type of detergent. Simply put a tablet
or packet into the main wash compartment and close the
detergent cup cover. Please notice that the tablet or packet
must be placed in the main wash compartment of the
detergent cup. If the tablet or packet is placed in the prewash
compartment or tossed in the bottom of the dishwasher,
the detergent will be flushed down the drain in a very short
period of time and will thus be wasted. Wash performance will
be very poor as a result.
If you choose to use detergent in powder, liquid or gel form,
the amount of detergent you use will be determined by the
hardness of your water, the temperature of your water, and
the food soil load inside the dishwasher. Contact your water
company to get information about the hardness of the water
in your area. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon.
Use this information and the table above to determine the
amount of detergent to use.
You may purchase a hard water test strip from Haier
Appliances. You can order through Haier Appliances Parts by
visiting haierappliances.com/parts.
In Canada, haiercanada.ca/parts.
Use the table as a starting point and then adjust the amount
of detergent you use. Use just enough to get good wash
performance. Using just the right amount of detergent will
provide great wash performance without wasting detergent
or etching glassware.
Using too much detergent with very soft and/or very
hot water may cause a condition called etching on your
glassware. Etching is a permanent cloudiness in your
glassware. This condition is irreversible. However, using too
little detergent will cause poor wash performance.
DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT
NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for
dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During
operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents,
covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.
Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the
dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other
cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the
correct detergent and where it is stored.
While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your
dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is
not formulated for automatic dishwashers.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets
may vary from your model.
UPPER RACK
The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and saucers. For
best wash performance, tilt cup and glass openings toward
the center of the rack. Other items such as pots, pans, and
plates may be placed in the upper rack. This is also a secure
place for dishwasher-safe plastic items. The upper rack can
be used for odd sized utensils. Sauce pans, mixing bowls,
and other similarly shaped items should be placed face down
for best wash performance. Ensure small plastic items are
secure so that they cannot fall on the heater at the bottom of
the dishwasher, potentially damaging the item. Some models
are equipped with a hidden heater, so dishwasher safe plastic
items can be placed in the lower rack.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that
items do not protrude
through the bottom of the
rack or silverware basket
where they will block the
rotation of the middle spray
arm. This could result in
noise during operation and/
or poor wash performance.
USING THE DISHWASHER
BOTTLE JETS
The Bottle Jets system is the ideal location to position
baby bottles, tall sports bottles, or other tall items with
narrow openings. The Bottle Jets clips hold bottles with
small openings in place so water jets are directed inside the
bottles to clean hard to reach areas. Clips can be installed or
removed by simply
slipping the clip
opening over the
top of the nozzle.

The upper rack may be adjusted to accommodate larger
items. To adjust the upper rack, fully extend the upper rack
and lift the front of the rack so that the rack roller wheels
clear the end hooks on the front of the rails. Continue to pull
the rack until the remaining rack roller wheels clear the end
hook. Select the set of rollers on the side of the rack that
provides the desired height, and reinstall the upper rack by
aligning the rack roller wheels on the end hook and rack rails –
Ensure that there are roller wheels above and below the rack
rails. Failure to properly align the wheels onto the end hook
and rails may result in the rack falling from the dishwasher.

LOWER RACK
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware
items. Large items, such as broiler pans and baking racks should
be placed along the sides of the rack. If necessary, oversized
glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack to maximize
loading flexibility. Plates, saucers and similar items should be
placed between the tines in the direction that allows the item to
remain secure in the rack.
NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may
block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser.
The lower rack fold down tines can be adjusted to different
upright angles or placed flat to provide flexibility for hard-to-fit or
extra-large items.
To change the direction of the fold down tines, lower the
tines, then pull away from the bar clips that secure the
tines to the rack and remove. Reverse the direction of the
tines, orienting the handle on the opposite side of the rack.
Reattach the tines to the bar clips by pushing the tines
back until they click in place. The indexer will also need
to be switched to the opposite side of the dishwasher. To
remove the indexer, simply slide it the in the direction labeled
“unlock.” Then, align the indexer with the rack on the other
side and slide in the direction that says “lock” in order to
reattach the indexer to the rack.
IMPORTANT: It is important to ensure that items do not
protrude through the bottom of the rack or the silverware
basket where they will block the rotation of the lower spray
arm. Also, ensure that large plates, pots, or tall items don’t
hit the mid spray arm. This could result in noise during
operation and/or poor wash performance.

CARE AND CLEANING
FILTER ASSEMBLY
Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This should be
done every month or more depending on usage. If there is
a decrease in wash performance or dishes feel gritty, this is
also an indication the filters need to be cleaned.
ULTRA-FINE FILTER
To clean the Ultra-Fine Filter, remove the bottom rack. Twist
the Ultra-Fine Filter counterclockwise and lift to remove.
Rinse filter with warm soapy water and use a sponge to
carefully remove any stubborn particles. Scrubbing with
scouring pads or brushes can dama ge the filter. Once
cleaned, replace the Ultra-Fine Filter, and twist it clockwise to
lock in place.
FINE FILTER
To clean the Fine Filter (mesh plate), remove the bottom rack.
Remove the Ultra-Fine Filter.
Lift the Fine Filter up and out from under the two rear
retaining tabs. Rinse filter with warm soapy water. Scouring
pads or brushes can scratch the filter surface but a soft
brush or sponge may be needed to remove stubborn soils
or calcium deposits caused by hard water. Once cleaned,
replace the Fine Filter making sure it goes under the two rear
retaining tabs. Replace the Ultra-Fine Filter.
PROTECT AGAINST FREEZING
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter,
ask a service technician to:
1
Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or
trip circuit breaker.
2
Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line
from the water valve.
3
Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve. (Use a
pan to catch the water.)
4
Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.
DOES YOUR DISHWASHER HAVE AN
AIR GAP?
An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing
up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the
dishwasher. It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing
codes require air gaps, so you may not have one.
The air gap is easy to clean:
1
Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the air gap cover.
2
Remove the plastic cap under the cover and clean with a
toothpick.
3
Replace the cap and cover when the air gap is clean.
If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched or
dented during normal use, they will not rust or corrode.
These surface blemishes will not affect their function or
durability.
Check the air gap any time your dishwasher isnt draining well.

This is a reminder that your
dishwasher door has been left
open during operation. It will
continue beeping until you
press Start and close the door.
Press Start and close the door.
Beeping at the end of
the cycle
This is normal. Dishwasher

Low inlet water temperature Make sure inlet water temperature is correct (see the USING
THE DISHWASHER section). Turn on the hot water faucet
nearest the dishwasher, let run until the water temperature stops
rising. Then start the dishwasher and turn off the faucet. This
ensures the entering water is hot. Select Temp.
Water pressure is temporarily
low
Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out more slowly than usual? If so,
wait until pressure is normal before using your dishwasher.
Normal
water pressure to the dishwasher should be 20-120 psi.
Air gap or disposer clogged Clean the air gap or flush the disposer.
High drain loop or air gap not
installed
Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line
installation.
Improper rack loading Make sure large dishware or utensils do not block the detergent
dispenser or the wash arms. See the LOADING section.
Poor performing detergent Use a highly rated detergent such as Finish

Too little or low performing
detergent
Make sure you use the proper amount of highly rated
detergent.
Cloudiness on
glassware
Combination of soft water
and too much detergent
This is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this from
happening, use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash
glassware in the shortest cycle that will get it clean.
Low performing phosphate-
free detergent
See A white film on glassware, dishware and the interior in
this TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS section.
Water temperature entering
the dishwasher exceeds 150°F
(66°C)

ENGLISH
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Steam This is normal Warm, moist air comes through the vent during drying and
when water is being pumped out. This is necessary for drying.
Sanitized light does
not illuminate at the
end of the cycle
The door was opened and the
cycle was interrupted during
final rinse
Do not interrupt the cycle by opening the door during the wash
cycle.
The incoming water
temperature was too low
Raise the water heater temperature to between 120°F and
150°F.
Noise Normal operating sounds:
Beeping at the end of the cycle
Detergent cup opening
Water entering dishwasher
Motor stops and starts at
various times during cycle
Spray arms start and stop at
various times
Drain pump sounds during
pump out
Drain pump starts and stops
several times during each drain
These are all normal. No action is required.
Rattling dishes when the
spray arm rotates
Make sure dishes are properly loaded. See the LOADING
section.
Rattling silverware against
door during wash
Tall utensils may be placed in the upper rack to avoid bumping
against inner door during wash cycle.
A white film on
glassware, dishware
and the interior
This problem is likely caused
by a low quality phosphate-
free dishwasher detergent
To remove the white film, run your dishes through a dishwasher
cycle with citric acid. Use a WD35X151 citric acid kit found
online. Otherwise, use Finish
®
Dishwasher Cleaner found at
your local grocery store.
Pour the citric acid in the detergent cup and close the cover.
Place the filmed but otherwise clean glassware and dishware in
the dishwasher. Leave silverware and other metal items out of
the dishwasher. Turn the dishwasher on and let it run through a
complete cycle without detergent. The glassware, dishware, and
dishwasher should come out film free. Alternatively, a vinegar rinse
may be used. Pour 1 cup of vinegar into dishwasher just after the
detergent cup opens and let the dishwasher complete its cycle.
This may be repeated several times a year as needed.
The use of a rinse agent such as Finish
®
Jet-Dry
®
Rinse Aid
may help minimize a repeat build up of film. Also, the use of a
highly rated detergent such as Finish
®
Quantum
®
Automatic
Dishwashing Detergent will help prevent film build-up.
Feel air on your
legs when standing
in front of the
dishwasher in cycle
This is normal. Do not interrupt the cycle. No action is required
1
Open the door to interrupt the cycle. Pull the door handle
to release the door.
2
Do not open the door all the way until the water spray
action stops. Steam may rise out of the dishwasher.
3
Add additional items.
4
Press Start and close the door within 4 seconds to
resume the cycle.
FORGET TO ADD A DISH?
Additional items may be added to the dishwasher at any time, ideally items would be added shortly after starting a wash cycle.
